The unitcell comprises primarily two FSSs on both sides of a thin dielectric substrate. For a linear polarized wave incidence, the transmitted wave is circularly polarized with a minimum 3 dB Axial Ratio (AR) from 19.08-37.27 GHz with a relative bandwidth of 64.56% and near 0 dB AR at two frequencies, 24.4 GHz and 34.8 GHz. The response is angular stable, almost up to 45° for different oblique incidences under Transverse Electric (TE) and Transverse Magnetic (TM) modes. Electric field patterns are also investigated to visualize the circular polarization rotation sense. The unitcell is compact with a structural periodicity of 0.102λL×0.134λL and thickness of 0.051λL, where λL is the free-space wavelength corresponding to the lowest operating frequency. In addition, this design offers a bandwidth tunability feature by adjusting the stub's length at the back FSS. Since the design is miniaturized with 0.697(λ3L/ 1000) volume and wideband stable angular performance made this a potential candidate for real-time satellite applications.","PeriodicalId":219307,"journal":{"name":"2022 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126920926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed antenna structure is patterned on a FR4 substrate with a radius of 5 mm. With the use of the inductive circular loop feed and a folded radiating dipole structure, the antenna can be well miniaturized, and maintains a stable complex input impedance which fully covers the 2.45 GHz ISM band. The equivalent circuit model and analysis on the key parameters are also conducted in detail. And the measurement is finally realized by properly assembling the antenna inside the capsule-shaped case for mimicking the practical scenario. The results of both simulation and measurement show smooth changes of the antenna impedance around the ISM band, which indicates a stable impedance matching performance. The proposed antenna geometry can be easily fabricated and tuned for directly matching to the specific transceiver without additional matching circuit, which can be a good candidate for the miniaturized ingestible devices with space constraints.","PeriodicalId":219307,"journal":{"name":"2022 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127915931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
